Build empathy through active listening and validation from "summary" of I Hear You by Nidhi Upadhyay
Active listening and validation are two powerful tools that can help us build empathy in our interactions with others. When we practice active listening, we are fully present and engaged in the conversation, giving our full attention to the speaker. This means putting aside our own thoughts and opinions, and focusing on understanding the other person's perspective.
Validation is another important aspect of building empathy. When we validate someone, we acknowledge their feelings and experiences as valid and important. This can help the other person feel heard and understood, which can strengthen our connection with them.
By combining active listening and validation, we can show others that we care about their feelings and experiences. This can help us build stronger relationships and create a more empathetic and supportive environment.
